Turning Waste into Power — Waste-to-Energy Solutions in Africa


Listen Later

In this episode of the ClimateTech Podcast, we explore how waste—often seen as a challenge—can become a powerful resource for clean energy and local development across Africa.
We dive into the growing waste crisis, how waste-to-energy solutions can reduce pollution, cut emissions, and create jobs, practical innovations in refugee settings and informal waste collection, and look at lessons from the SESA project on capacity building, peer learning, and inclusive planning.

Guests:
  • Guglielmo Mazzà, CEO and Co-founder of ReFuse, a Lebanese social enterprise focused on integrated solid waste management
  • Claudia Schröder, Senior Professional Officer for Climate Change, Energy & Resilience at ICLEI Africa
